What is your favourite sick soup?

Just that really. We are a sick house this weekend from the nursery bugs, not much appetite. Would love a good sick soup for dinner and looking for some inspiration.

Campbells cream of tomato.

MidnightOnceMore · 26/08/2023 18:35

I make minestrone as the pasta makes it a bit more substantial.

when I've been unwell I love Knorr chicken noodle soup- I always add a beaten egg stirred in for extra protein

RabbitsRock · 26/08/2023 18:37

Sick soup is a rather unfortunate name if you’re ill! I always go to Heinz tomato

Yes! The packet stuff. No cream so doesn’t upset the tummy, it’s really just broth. We used to call it Poorly Soup when I was a kid and my kids do now too 😁

Try Avgolemoni soup. It's a Greek chicken rice soup with egg and lemon. Sounds weird with the egg but it's our go-to when anyone is feeling poorly.

When I'm sick, it is anything I don't have to make myself. My preference is cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, pea and ham, and chicken noodle, in that order. I would ideally like homemade soup, but that would never happen. DH would be happy to go out to buy then 'prepare' (heat) one of my choosing though.
If someone else in the family was sick and wanted soup, I would make a chunky 'knife and fork' chicken soup if no specific request was made, however I expect DCs would both request spinach, and DH would want tomato.

‘Sick soup’ 🤢🤢🤢 bloody hell I won’t be able to eat any soup for a while 😭

megletthesecond · 26/08/2023 18:43

Yorkshire Provender roast chicken if I've been proper poorly.
Or their Thai green chicken noodle if I'm just snotty.

AdaColeman · 26/08/2023 18:56

Chicken broth with a little rice or soup pasta added is a good choice, helps keep fluid intake up, without upsetting the tummy more.
Chicken noodle is also a good call, or Asian style noodle soup if not spicy.
My own favourite is consommé served in a large cup, with toast soldiers to dunk.
Get well soon all of you!

Chicken broth type soup made with plenty of ginger, garlic, onions and black pepper corns.

heretohelp241 · 26/08/2023 19:11

Spiced carrot and parsnip soup with lots of ginger, some cumin and paprika - finished with a sprinkling of crushed chillies. It is so warming and nourishing. It is very flexible too - you can also add red lentils if you want it a bit more substantial.

Lilithlogic · 26/08/2023 19:13

Well sick soup has just put me of soup for life 😁😁

CuteCillian · 26/08/2023 19:14

They used to sell a beetroot and horseradish soup at Waitrose, it may have been Yorkshire Provender. It was as amazing for cutting through a heavy head.

teenysaladandsniffofarose · 26/08/2023 19:16

Cauliflower cheese soup
Vegetable and lentil
Broccoli and Stilton
Broccoli, orzo and cannellini bean

You've inspired me to make soup tomorrow🤣

NotAsAnonymousAsYouThinkYouAre · 26/08/2023 19:18

Heinz tomato.
Because that’s what DM fed us as kids.

Sick soup though 🤮

neilyoungismyhero · 26/08/2023 19:19

Knorr packet vegetable very salty. Absolute bliss after a prolonged period of s and d.

ŁadnaPogoda · 26/08/2023 19:19

Proper Jewish penicillin with kneidlach.

Cinnamonandcoal · 26/08/2023 19:20

Proper Jewish chicken soup, otherwise known as 'penicillin'.
Someone else has already shared a link.

Cinnamonandcoal · 26/08/2023 19:20

Building a consensus here I like it.

MintJulia · 26/08/2023 19:22

Home made vegetable soup, using whatever is in the fridge/cupboard. If I'm poorly I make a big pot of it

augustusglupe · 26/08/2023 19:22

M&S Tomato soup

Twilight7777 · 26/08/2023 19:24

Heinz chicken soup or chicken and sweet corn soup from the Chinese

Acornsoup · 26/08/2023 19:25

I have three which I make in batches. The first 2 can be frozen for when you need them. The last one needs fresh kimchi adding. The first and last can all be made vegan really easily
